Homemade Big Mac Healthy Recipe

I’ll be honest, I am not a fan of fast food. Not because fast food is the ONLY problem in our obesity sized society or THE reason why cancer rates are at an all time high. I just don’t find the quality and price worth it. It just doesn’t taste good to me.

The famous Mcdonalds Big Mac is an unforgettable burger for most people so I decided to create and make a custom homemade big mac recipe with higher quality ingredients and beef. So here it is:

Big Mac Recipe:

 

Lets ofcourse start with the most important part of a Big Mac, the Special Sauce!

This recipe looks awesome!!! Since I don’t use grain flour, do you think almond or coconut flour would work well as a substitute? Thanks!

I’m wondering what is the driver for the high carb count on this? I’ve seen similar recipes with corn, and not quite the same level of carbs. Is it hidden in the seasonings perhaps?

This looks tasty but might I suggest that you swap cage-free organic for pastured organic. From what I know, it seems like a kinder option!
